Today I wanted to talk to you about a very important topic, being overweight. It is a topic that 3 years ago I could not have touched because it was something delicate for me, but I decided that with my experience I could advise people on this that is not good for both physical and mental health.
Desde pequeña siempre he sido gordita.
Since I was little I have always been fat
Era muy linda, cuando uno es pequeño no lo educan para tener una vida sana. Ni hablarles sobre las cosas feas que puedes sentir si sigues siendo así de grande.
It was very nice, when you are little you are not educated to have a healthy life. Or talk to you about the ugly things you can feel if you're still that big.
Seguí creciendo, me volví más gorda y mi salud física era muy mala. Sufro de asma por ende me canso muy rápido, pero no hacia nada para mejorarlo. No hacía ningún deporte hasta que mi peso para la edad de 11 años era demasiado.
I kept growing, I became fatter and my physical health was very poor. I suffer from asthma therefore I get tired very quickly, but I did nothing to improve it. I didn't do any sports until my weight for age 11 was too much.
Poco a poco era más gordita.
Little by little I was chubby.
Sentía que no encajaba bien ya que mis hermanas eran delgadas. Algo muy difícil para una niña.
I felt that it didn't fit well since my sisters were thin. Something very difficult for a girl.
Comencé a verme fea, gorda y horrible. Me decía cosas feas y terminaba llorando por mi culpa. Me odié. Creo que fue muy difícil para mí esos años, en el colegio el bullying era impresionante y ya creo que no lo soportaba. Pero aun era peor para mi salud física, no podía subir las escaleras del edificio donde vivo sin cansarme, me dolia respirar y me di cuenta que eso no estaba bien ni era sano.
I started to look ugly, fat and horrible. I said me ugly things to me and he ended up crying because of me. I hated myself. I think it was very difficult for me those years, at school bullying was impressive and I think I couldn't stand it. But it was even worse for my physical health, I could not climb the stairs of the building where I live without getting tired, it hurt to breathe and I realized that this was not right or healthy.
E hice un bien para mí y comencé a hacer ejercicio, comía mejor y comencé a preocuparme de verdad por mi, por mi salud física. Practique karate y mi cuerpo comenzó a cambiar para mejor, la resistencia física comenzó a aparecer y me sentí mejor conmigo.
And I did good for myself and I started exercising, I ate better and I started to really worry about myself, about my physical health. I practiced karate and my body began to change for the better, physical resistance began to appear and I felt better about myself.
Aprendí que era muy importante el cuidarnos, el dejar de decir cosas para excusarme por mi peso cuando no estaba bien ni sana. Y aprendí sobre el ejercicio, sobre la buena alimentación y también que aunque el peso no define a una persona, es mejor estar sanos por nosotros mismos.
I learned that it was very important to take care of ourselves, to stop saying things to apologize for my weight when I was not well or healthy. And I learned about exercise, about good nutrition and also that although weight does not define a person, it is better to be healthy by ourselves.
Bajé de pesó pero no me volví delgada, no quería serlo, solo quería estar mas sana y lo logré.
Ahora mi peso varia, me jamás volví a ser así tan gordita como era, se que no esta bien.
I lost weight but I did not become thin, I did not want to be, I just wanted to be healthier and I did it.
Now my weight varies, I was never as fat as I was, I know it's not right.
Ahora se cual es mi limite de peso y me amo mucho, mucho, mucho.
Now I know what my weight limit is and I love myself very, very, very much.
Esta soy yo en año nuevo, y ese día vi al cielo y brinde por los cambios que son necesarios.
This is me in the new year, and that day I saw heaven and toasted the changes that are necessary.
